feat: enforce lowercase namespaces and rename two mixed-case namespaces

[matifali]

Problem

Namespace directories under registry/ are inconsistently cased. Four use mixed case (AJ0070, BenraouaneSoufiane, Excellencedev, IamTaoChen) while the other 21 are lowercase. The namespace becomes part of the case-sensitive module source path, so users end up with paths that are easy to mistype:

source = "registry.coder.com/BenraouaneSoufiane/rustdesk/coder"

Nothing stops the next contributor from adding another one.

Changes

Lint rule. validateNamespaceName validates namespace directories against a lowercase-only pattern (^[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?$). Mixed-case names get an actionable error suggesting the lowercase form. Table test covers lowercase, grandfathered, mixed-case, and otherwise-invalid names. CONTRIBUTING.md documents the requirement.

Renamed the two namespaces that can move safely. Excellencedev → excellencedev and IamTaoChen → iamtaochen. Both are templates-only with zero release tags, so no published module source path can break. Pure git mv, no content changes. display_name, github, and support_email frontmatter keep their original casing.

AJ0070 and BenraouaneSoufiane stay allowlisted. Both have published modules (pgadmin, rustdesk) whose source paths are case-sensitive, and registry-server has no alias mechanism for the old path. Renaming them needs server-side work first.

Namespace	Release tags	Renamed here
Excellencedev	0	Yes
IamTaoChen	0	Yes
AJ0070	2 (pgadmin)	No, allowlisted
BenraouaneSoufiane	2 (rustdesk)	No, allowlisted

No new CI job. The existing validate-readme-files job already runs this binary on every PR.

Validation

Validator runs clean on the renamed tree, go test, go vet, and bun x prettier --check all pass. Adding a mixed-case namespace fails as expected:

[erro] error when validating the repo structure
    error= Error during "File structure validation" phase of README validation:
           - "registry/TestBadNS": namespace name must be lowercase (use "testbadns")

Note

The two renamed namespaces change their registry.coder.com URLs, e.g. /templates/IamTaoChen/ssh-linux becomes /templates/iamtaochen/ssh-linux. There's no redirect mechanism, so old links will 404.

Closes #683

Pull request overview

This PR strengthens the cmd/readmevalidation repo-structure validator by enforcing lowercase-only namespace directory names under registry/, while explicitly allowing the four legacy mixed-case namespaces to avoid breaking existing module source paths.

Changes:

• Added validateNamespaceName with a lowercase-only namespace regex and a small allowlist for legacy mixed-case namespaces.
• Added a table-driven unit test covering valid lowercase, grandfathered mixed-case, and invalid namespaces.
• Documented the lowercase namespace requirement and rationale in CONTRIBUTING.md.

Heads-up: this PR lowercases your registry namespaces for consistency with the rest of the registry, IamTaoChen → iamtaochen and Excellencedev → excellencedev. Only the directory name changes, no content edits.

Both of your namespaces contain templates only and have no release tags, so nothing breaks for anyone using them. The one visible change is the registry URL, e.g. registry.coder.com/templates/IamTaoChen/ssh-linux becomes registry.coder.com/templates/iamtaochen/ssh-linux. Old links will 404 since we have no redirect mechanism today.

Please update the links if you are using them anywhere in your portfolio.
